The Palestinian refugees, who escaped from Syria to Jordan and settled in Cyber city camp, described that the camp is like Guantanamo Prison, where the refugees suffer from the security tighten, the bad humanitarian situation , the humiliation and the media blackout on their suffering. All these led to increase the number of the Palestinians of Syria in Cyber city camp in Al Ramtha north of Jordan, where a number of refugees escape cases were documented from the camp that shelters about 175 Palestinian families who escaped the war in Syria.
It was described as an industrial area surrounded with fences and strict security procedures like a prison and supervised by many Jordanian Security departments. The place was as an accommodation place for Asian workers who were working in the factories of the industrial area in Irbid before it was closed since years due to the instability and protest of workers on the bad level of accommodation, then it was open by a donation from its owner to shelter the Palestinian refugees coming from Syria.
The refugees are distributed on 142 housing units in 5 floors, where they receive the visitors in a piece of land 50 meters far from the housing and it is the only space allowed by the Security. The refugees suffer from bad living situation, where each family that contains five members has only one room and all the floor rooms has one kitchen and bathroom used by all refugees. Tightening on the refugees specially the Palestinian refugees who hold the Syrian documents prompted them to suicide escaping from the severe living situation. A refugee describes the Jordanian security treatment that it is just humiliation, he added" they treat us as suspicious since we reached the Jordanian territories though some of us are Jordan Passport holders but our only problem is that we are Palestinians, in addition we are prevented to visit our relatives as we are in Guantanamo prison".
It is worthy to mention that the Policies Council that is headed by the King Abdullah took a decision in May 2011 to ban the entry of the Palestinian refugees from Syria to Jordan, where politicians explained that Jordan fears that it is about changing the identity of the Palestinians and about find an alternative country instead of Palestine.
